James Chancelor “Chance” Toles passed from this life on Saturday, August 10, 2013 in Bethany, Oklahoma while finishing a 100-mile bike ride as part of Spin Your Wheels, an annual charity event raising money for The Children’s Center in Bethany.
Chance
was born on July 6, 1977 in Ripley, Oklahoma to proud parents James and René Toles. He was an avid athlete growing up playing basketball, baseball and
running cross country for Ripley High School where he graduated with the Class
of 1995. That same year the Lord called Chance to become a child of His, and he
was baptized into the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn at the
Colorado church camp meetings. After high school he attended Northern Oklahoma
College in Tonkawa, where he met his best friend and future wife, Raynee Moody.
They were united in marriage on May 15, 1999 in Purcell, Oklahoma. Chance and
Raynee were blessed with a beautiful daughter, Pasley Raynee Toles on October 3,
2003 and from that day forward their lives would never be the same.
Chance was kind hearted, thoughtful, and generous person. He truly gave from
the heart, and showed it by giving the most precious thing he had… his time. He
could often be found coaching little league baseball, or working with the SaBaR
Youth Triathlon Team. He loved to do triathlons and restore his 1966 Mustang.
One thing that made Chance so special was he didn’t do these things alone; many
of his life’s accomplishments were shared right alongside his wife and
daughter. He loved to watch Pasley grow up, and when she became older he took
great pleasure in seeing her race and swim. Chance was persistent, and his
perseverance drove him to complete numerous triathlons, marathons, and even his
first full Ironman race in 2012. He was currently training for the Ironman
Tahoe, where he was a member of the “Tahoe Dream Team.”
Chance worked for ADT Security as an Installation Team Manager, and served on
the State Alarm Board (OKBFAA) as the second Vice President. He held a manager
level certification of the Ok State Alarm Industry and always took great pride
in his work.
Chance is survived by his loving wife, Raynee, and daughter, Pasley of the home;
parents, James and René Toles; Siblings, Andy Toles and wife Mallory, and Amber
Thompson and husband David; and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Richard and Theola Rodgers, and
Bill and Dolores Toles.
Arrangements for Chance and his family were placed in the care of the Vice
family at the Havenbrook Funeral Home of Norman.
Funeral Services will be held 2:00 p.m., Thursday, August 15, 2013 at Journey Church, 3801 Journey Pkwy, Norman.
Interment to follow services at Sunset Memorial Gardens, 2301 E. Indian Hills Rd., Norman.
